Hospital told RAF sergeant to leave waiting room in case his uniform upset other patients
UK Daily Mail ^ | September 26 2015 | JOSH WHITE

An RAF sergeant who has served in Iraq and Afghanistan was moved out of a hospital waiting room because staff feared his uniform would upset people from different cultures, it was reported.

Aircraft engineer Mark Prendeville’s treatment was condemned as ‘horrifying’ by military figures and Air Force veterans – but follows a string of incidents in recent years where service personnel were snubbed because of their uniform.

Sergeant Prendeville, 38, was taken to the A&E department at Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital in Margate, Kent, after chemicals from a fire extinguisher got in to his eyes during a training exercise.

He was then taken to an empty corner of the waiting room before being moved behind a corner by hospital staff, The Sun reported.

This has to be from “The Onion” right?

All of those “cultures” in there he was willing to protect with his life.

I would criticize the UK, but children can’t wear the American flag in US schools, so we have a related problem. It is disgusting though that a man in uniform has to be hidden from the savages in his own country!

You talk o’ better food for us, an’ schools, an’ fires, an’ all:
We’ll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.
Don’t mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow’s Uniform is not the soldier-man’s disgrace.
For it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Chuck him out, the brute!”
But it’s “Saviour of ‘is country” when the guns begin to shoot;
An’ it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ anything you please;
An’ Tommy ain’t a bloomin’ fool — you bet that Tommy sees!

That was my first thought - Kipling.

And yet, the gov’t and courts in the UK
permit, if not encourage, Moslems to rape their
girls and to sell them at Gatwick for sex slaves.

These people of “different cultures” don’t have any interest in assimilating to the culture of the country they invaded so why don’t they just set up their own hospitals/doctors like they set up their own communities?

Like someone said in the comments after the article, burkas offend us..

When are things going to start making sense again?

I wonder how upset they would be if ISIS came in shooting up the place.

Because when it comes to things which must be paid for, they prefer to pass it off onto the legal taxpaying citizens anytime they can. I’m sure that if they can come up with a way to have their own private Islamic hospitals at taxpayer expense, they’ll do it then. We can then pay for their female genital mutilations, etc. Well, why the heck not, come to think of it? We already have to pay for the “sex change operations” of convicted criminals and others, and pay for the horrific murders of babies. Why not pay for Islamic “healthcare”?

Stick a fork in Britain. It’s done.

While Sir Winston and Lady Thatcher console each other and weep.

You know, these stories are shocking but we really NEED to out the people—or persons in this case—who utter them.

WHO at the hospital told him this, and why are they not now unemployed and scorned publically?
